Key Features
Windows Maps app provides detailed driving, walking, and public transit directions to any location utilizing road maps and satellite view modes, with full support for free map view manipulation and rendering of buildings and terrain features in 3D.
Users can use this app not only to orient themselves in any environment they find themselves in but also to get accurate directions to any point on Earth.
The app features several advanced features for easier navigation, including traffic notifications, business listings (with ratings, reviews, and working hours), advanced search, and full integration with Microsoft's digital assistant Cortana.
This way, Windows PC users can easily search for map directions hands-free, using only natural language voice commands.
Microsoft Maps app supports a tabbed search interface that can keep in memory previous searches that the user entered the app, enabling streamlined management of multiple navigation searches.
In supported areas, the Traffic listing feature can showcase not only the reduced speed of cars but also visually showcase places where road incidents happened.
The maps can also list publicly available live stream cameras, 360 panoramas, streetside views, and detailed 3D showcases of over 200 cities and landmarks. When used on the go, the app can also automatically remember the parking location of the user’s car, enabling easier navigation on previously not visited locations.
